Summary

I am a highly motivated and driven individual 23-year-old, seeking challenging roles where I can utilise my strong social skills and ability to engage with others.

Professionally, I have five years of retail and promotions experience; and have honed my analytical, communication and interpersonal skills; gaining valuable experience in the process. I am eager to bring my energy, creativity, and commitment to excellence to a challenging and dynamic work environment.
